Events planned for Sexual Assault Awareness Month

10:49 AM, Apr 3, 2013

With April being Sexual Assault Awareness Month, several activities are taking place at Naval Base Ventura County to increase awareness of and educate people about sexual assault.

On April 11, the Fleet & Family Support Center and Morale, Welfare and Recreation are teaming up to sponsor a Sexual Assault Awareness 5K Run and Walk at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC) Port Hueneme. Registration for the free run begins at 11 a.m.; the run is at 11:30, with the start and finish line at the BeeHive Gym.

On April 17, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., anyone with base access is invited to Room 2 of the Fleet & Family Support Center at NBVC Port Hueneme to decorate a T-shirt in support of sexual assault survivors. Attendees are asked to bring their own T-shirt; the FFSC is providing decorating supplies. T-shirts will be displayed the rest of the month in the NBVC Welcome Center, hanging in a “Line of Courage.”
